I ran in the Daily American 5K in Somerset, PA on Saturday morning. It was a GREAT morning - I couldn't believe how many people came out for this event. The race started and ended with a lap around the track and the spectators were really enthusiastic. The course was mostly flat for the first mile and had two large hills, at about 1.3 miles and 2.4 miles. I knew this wasn't going to be a PR course. We were leaving for vacation directly after the race too, so I didn't want to push it too hard.

Emily and Caleb wore their "My Mommy is faster then your Mommy" shirts:

It was nice to have my biggest fans there:

I finished with a time of 25:45, which was third place in my age. I was only 15 seconds behind second place for my age, so I was wishing I had pushed just a little harder.

Thanks Daily American for a FUN race and a wonderful day!
